PLVA6xxA series

Low-voltage avalanche regulator diodes

High performance voltage regulator diodes in small SOT23 plastic SMD packages.

The series consists of PLVA650A to PLVA668A.

Features and benefits

Very low dynamic impedance at low currents: approximately 1/20 of conventional series
Hard breakdown knee
Low noise: approximately 1/10 of conventional series
Total power dissipation: max. 250 mW
Small tolerances of V_Z
Working voltage range: nominal 5.00 to 6.80 V
Non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation: maximal 30 W.
AEC-Q101 qualified

Applications

Low current, low power, low noise applications
CMOS RAM back-up circuits
Voltage stabilizers
Voltage limiters
Smoke detector relays.
